This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes regarding excessive speed violations in Arizona. It introduces a new section, 28-711, which allows courts to mandate the installation of speed inhibiting devices on vehicles operated by individuals whose licenses are suspended or revoked for specific speeding violations. The bill outlines the duration of device installation based on the severity and frequency of offenses, ranging from ninety days for a first violation to one year for repeat offenders. Additionally, it establishes requirements for manufacturers of these devices to provide proof of compliance to the Department of Transportation, including installation, calibration, and any tampering incidents.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing statutes to incorporate the speed inhibiting device into various legal contexts, such as the conditions under which a person may operate a vehicle and the penalties for non-compliance. It also specifies that individuals must bear the costs associated with the installation and maintenance of these devices. The legislation emphasizes the importance of compliance and outlines the consequences for violations, including potential misdemeanor charges and the suspension of driving privileges until compliance is achieved. Overall, the bill aims to enhance road safety by imposing stricter measures on individuals who repeatedly violate speed regulations.
